DESCRIPTION

Objects of this class store and manipulate metadata for variable-length character columns in a database. Column metadata objects store information about columns (data type, size, etc.) and are responsible for creating object methods that manipulate column values.

This class inherits from Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character. Inherited methods that are not overridden will not be documented a second time here. See the Rose::DB::Object::Metadata::Column::Character documentation for more information.
